"Hello.
I am Dr Elizabeth Farris of the Cascade. We were headed out... We were carrying passengers, people. To the colonies. In cryo. Please, send help. Something happened. We got off track. We lost a lot of power, there was a collision.
I was woken up after the collision, but I'm trapped in this room, I'm injured. I don't know what's happened to the colonists. They may be awake and trapped elsewhere on the ship.
I... I don't know if this will reach anyone. I'm alone. Please, someone has to help us... There must be someone else out there who can receive this signal.
I think that something else got onto the ship."

The cryobay of the Cascade - a large ship transporting colonists from Earth to the Colony, Ellaris, has been affected by a mysterious power surge, causing a group of pods to forcefully wake up their inhabitants. 77 years prior to this, the Cascade was stopped in it's tracks by a collision in deep space which woke up, and injured a single inhabitant - the ship's Doctor, Elizabeth Farris, whose med bay was directly hit during the collision.
Elizabeth was able to send out an audio distress signal while trapped in the medical bay.
What happened to Dr Farris remains a mystery.
For now, our heroes are slowly waking up on a dead ship - in darkness. They have not arrived in Ellaris and many of them are not equipped with the skills to survive the horrors awaiting them on the ship.
They will each have to work together with each other - forced to trust one another in order to survive and save the hundreds of colonists still deep in cryosleep, unaware of the dangers surrounding them.
______________________________
In 2115, major advancements in technology meant that space travel had become affordable for all citizens of Earth. People began leaving voluntarily as colonists to explore other planets. Giving up their lives on Earth to start again elsewhere. By 2234, space travel was as common on earth as taking a flight to another country used to be.
But now, that doesn't matter. Earth is behind you, and Ellaris is ahead...

Rules and that
- This is an advanced roleplay, first and foremost. I expect spelling and grammar to be of an advanced level. Everyone slips up with it, so please proofread your own work.
- This is an advanced roleplay, so I would like to see posts of at least 2-3 paragraphs minimum.
- This is an advanced roleplay so I would expect the characters to be of an advanced level. No basic character, no Mary Sue or Gary Stu will be joining the roster.
- No god-moding or meta gaming.
- This is a horror sci-fi, people can get very hurt and people can die.
- Have fun, be nice, don't fuck it up.
- I'm looking to bring in about 5-6 characters to start with. If you're interested, shout out and make up a CS.
